Chest x-ray is performed to get images of the chest area including lungs, heart and rib area. This determines the problems in the chest area at a very basic level making it the fastest way of diagnosing the issue. Hence it is mainly used for emergency diagnosis.
Chest x-ray is performed to:
Determine any problems in breathing like shortness of breath.
Check for any unexplained coughs, chest pain or injury.
Determine any lung cancer or blockage in lungs.
Determine heart related problems.
Assess any disease like pneumonia or water filled in lungs.
Women should tell their doctors if there is any chance they may be pregnant because x-ray radiation can harm the baby. If in doubt, make sure to take a pregnancy test before performing the scan. If positive, consult your doctor.
Wear comfortable clothing and avoid jewellery or any other metal on the body.
